USTCAAA Turn-over Ceremony of Board of Directors

The book of Proverbs says, “When there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18). It means that when there is no vision, the people cast off restraints. People drift into a pointless, meaningless, listless existence if there is captivating vision, if there are no goals, no plans for the future.
